    There are a great many Democrats who could have wiped the floor with Trump.

    AOC would fucking shred him

      I like AOC. Unfortunately the majority of people, due to innate racism or misogyny, won’t vote for her. One of the only reasons Biden is there is they know he’s the most likely to get votes from all over the country.

          And what a fuckin poison pill that removed is. Honestly feel like Sarah Palin is more palatable.

          I also think she wouldn’t win the vote. For similar reasons as AOC.

            She’s also a cop with a very unpalatable record. But yes, misogynoir is also a huge hurdle for her, as per that other comment
